Beyond Esports have been crowned the 188Esports Thailand Championship 2020 after taking down NG Esports in a best-of-three series (8-16 on Nuke, 16-12 on Mirage and 16-5 on Train). In addition, Anupong stk” Mueangngam‘s side will also bring home prize money of ฿50,000 (~US$1,608).

The top Thai team added the second event title to their wins of the year and proved that they are capable of fighting a newly formed team with high hype around the CS:GO community, NG Esports. Beyond Esports managed to beat all teams through the process, taking down SEA.ANY1 (16-12, 16-9) and hadtro (16-3, 16-7).

However for this tournament, the multinational super team couldn’t show their full potential, as the organization has still not confirmed the signing of xccurate after our previous announcement. Until they secure the last piece of the puzzle, they will be using their coach, Piyangoon “MYM” Kitisin to fill in the void.

But Beyond couldn’t close out the game after Hyun-Pyo “XigN” Lee crushed them with a 2.01 HLTV rating until the end of the game for a score of 16-8.
